Posted April 5, 20223 yr JADE Thirlwall is set to undergoing an image revamp ahead of launching her solo music career. The X Factor hopeful turned household name will follow in the footsteps of Cheryl and ditch her surname when she makes her solo debut later this year. A music insider teased: "Jade is going all out to make sure her solo career takes off. "After talks with bosses she's decided a mini-revamp is the way to go and will be dropping her surname to simply be known as 'Jade' moving forward. "It worked for Cheryl so they see no reason why it wouldn't work for Jade. "There are no plans set in stone yet but a summer launch for her career is looking more than likely. "It goes without saying she's incredibly loyal to the girls but they are all looking to the future and life after the group and working on their own projects now." Next week Jade will join band mates Perrie Edwards and Leigh-Anne Pinnock as they kick off their final tour in Belfast. The trek will see the girls play arena shows up and down the UK before taking their final bow at at London's O2 Arena on May 14. Source: The Sun
April 5, 20223 yr I think she's known and liked well enough for her full name, can see why she's done it but don't think it's particularly necessary in this case!
April 5, 20223 yr Cheryl’s best selling albums were actually released under Cheryl Cole. I think most people still to this day call her Cheryl Cole.
April 5, 20223 yr I think it's for the best, but it's a decision that should've been made in 2011. People never got her surname right outside of stan Twitter. Scherzinger says hello too.
April 5, 20223 yr I hope she doesn’t go with just Jade As mentioned above it makes searching for her harder & there was a group called Jade who had a hit with Don’t Walk Away
April 6, 20223 yr if it's true, it's the right decision. from a branding perspective, her surname is long, confusing (the gp are stupid) + unfortunately not the most inspiring. shortening it to just jade is the right thing to do.
April 6, 20223 yr As mentioned above it makes searching for her harder & there was a group called Jade who had a hit with Don’t Walk Away I was about to mention this! Their chart history will end up being combined :lol: Fabulous as she is, I don't think she's quite at the level yet to be known mononymously - especially with a name as common as Jade.
April 6, 20223 yr Author Her recently reactivated twitter is just 'Jade' too, following the below tweet she now has over 20k followers and has been followed by Jade's bf. @1504552087681703942
April 6, 20223 yr common name?! :lol: how many albums do you own by artists called jade? I have most of Jade Ewen's unreleased pop R&B masterpiece 'Punching Out'. :lol: B-)
April 8, 20223 yr it's quite something saying she wants to follow in Cheryl's footsteps as i imagine her music career being where Cheryl's is now.
April 8, 20223 yr by that i mean... i don't see much solo success but will deffo get gay / pride bookings... if she were to feature on others songs... maybe a few top 15 hits.
April 8, 20223 yr I really think the radios are going to back her the most out of all of the girls. They LOVE her and she's always a pleasure to interview, so I think her promo circuit will be LIT.... if people even still say that word.
April 8, 20223 yr 2 friends of mine heard it and claimed the chorus is very catchy, i think she could manage a very solid career in the uk, the radios do love her and she has great networking
April 8, 20223 yr Author 2 friends of mine heard it and claimed the chorus is very catchy, i think she could manage a very solid career in the uk, the radios do love her and she has great networking I saw someone else on PJ post about a new song of hers being electro pop and indicated it was very good (not like there was any doubt it wouldn't be). So excited for her music!
